This is our original state of mind that becomes overlaid by the strategic egoic thinking that perceives the world in adversarial terms, of "us and them", a world of separate entities that compete for survival. Zen goes beyond the sense of self as a separate entity in the world to reach a non-dualistic perspective. One is no longer a drop in the ocean, but the whole ocean in a drop. This ...

The essence of longevity is harmony. It is bringing your inner world into harmony with your outer world, the microcosm with the macrocosm. Your inner world is a reflection of your outer world and the two should be as closely aligned as possible. The more conflict there is, the more stress and strain there is, and the shorter life tends to be. At the physical level, longevity is achieved by keeping your body flexible and in good working order. At the mental level it is keeping your mind clear and sharp, thinking creatively. At the spiritual level, it is being at peace with your world. Each ...

The kōan is an enigmatic or paradoxical question that defies logic, and forces you to break out of conventional modes of thinking, to use your imagination and intuition to arrive at a paradigm-shifting answer that moves you closer to enlightenment. A clichéd example that is commonly quoted is ‘what is the sound of one hand clapping?’ On the face of it, this seems like nonsense. Logic suggests that it takes two hands to make a sound. Many ‘correct’ answers have been suggested, but it is a mistake to think there is just one right answer; there are many. Some suggest that it is the ...

In the Summer of 2011, my son John and I took the Monaro Highway south from Canberra, heading for Charlotte’s Pass in Kosciuszko National Park. Full of enthusiasm, our plan on the day was to do the 18-kilometre round trip in seven or eight hours. We arrived at Charlotte’s around 9am, and were greatly disappointed to find thick fog, cold wind and icy rain lashing the windows of the car and making it rock. Nearby an organised group of hikers were getting ready to depart. They were fully kitted out with hiking poles and hooded wet weather gear over the top of bulky layers of warm clothing ...

In Being Happy Part 2, we shall take a look at the work of Martin Seligman, a foremost proponent of the positive psychology movement and a leading source of advice on being happy.

Its aim is to find ways build on people’s strengths, help them to find happiness and to achieve their full potential. This is in contrast to traditional psychology that focussed on what is wrong with a person. After a broad ranging review of the various prescriptions for happiness, from such diverse sources ...
